There are plenty of restaurants tall around the convention. Hooters on Pine St and of course the Yard House if anyone is down for a few yards of beer!

 

Hooters? I'll pass on that one. There have to be some real restaurants in the area, right?

 

If you don't like Hooters you could always get a Whopper at Burger King! wink.gif

 

I was thinking Weinerschnizel.

Yard's of beer? Fill it with Guinness & I'm there! sumo.gif

(actually, you could fill it with "nasty" lite and I'd still knock back a couple) gossip.gif

Everyone interested in Wizard World LA should check out the updated guest list. The director of THE PUNISHER will be there, with the Punisher himself Thomas Jane (also going to sign autographs), along with the director and stars of HELLBOY (Guillermo Del Toro, Ron Perelman, and Selma Blair). Avi Arad is also slated to show, along with Gale Anne Hurd, who produced the TERMINATOR films and HULK.

 

And as everyone probably knows, advance ticket buying now gets you a WW LA cover Hellboy comic, and the WW TX Wolverine The End 1 comic.

 

IF everyone on their updated guest list shows, this should be a fantastic convention.

 

Oh, and off course this post serves to "BUMP" this thread laugh.gif

 

Enjoy Your Weekend

David Carradine (from Kill Bill, and Kung Fu), and Michael Jai White are going to put in an appearance at the con.

 

There are also rumors that some creators/comic folk, etc., may pass on Megacon in FL (maybe because the show may not have as much support now that Crossgen has gone kablooey?), and show up at WW LA.

 

Oh yeah...BUMP! laugh.gif

 

Enjoy Your Weekend

That con is infamous for its lack of foot traffic. Steven Grant had a lot to say about how the con could get it's act together in an old CBR column (it is probably archived).

 

I hear Chuck R from Mile High Comics even apologized for recommending that folks attend that con...yikes!

 

Wizard World L.A. is going to fun for me because I am looking forward to enjoying the Hollywood element of the con just as much, if not more so, as the comic element.

 

Not to mention that I have been buying and reading comics since Uncanny X-Men 188 was on the racks, yet this will be my first "major" con (Wondercon was the only other really significant con I attended, and that was for one day many years ago) I have ever attended. With the exception of a handful of fairly local cons (and some small cons that used to be held on a monthly basis many moons-ago near where I live), I have been out of the convention circuit for too-many years.

 

The above may cause some board members to now understand why I am VERY enthusiastic and on cloud9.gif about attending this con, and keep bumping up this post to provide guest-list updates.

 

And speaking of events/updates---when the con is less than a month away I will remind folks of whether or not they want to try and form a CGC dinner get-together.

 

Enjoy Your Evening

This will act as my weekly/bi-weekly bump of this thread.

 

The actress who plays Mystique (R. Stamos) is going to put in an appearance at the con! Only on the Sunday Punisher film panel (which I am praying I have time to attend).

 

Regards

Is the dinner Saturday night? I think that's the best option.

Any others out plan on attending the dinner?

 

Borock, how many from CGC will be attending? Will Gemma finally be seen with comic geeks?

 

I think the Yard House sounds like a perfect location, wide variety of food choices, beer, close location, beer, great music, beer, hip atmosphere, and oh yeah beer.

 

Thoughts?
